Inspiring.
Warren Macdonald became trapped beneath a one tonne slab of rock while climbing Queensland’s
HinchcliffeHinchinbrook Island. Two days later he was rescued only to have both legs were amputated. Ten months later he climbed Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain using a modified wheelchair and the seat of his pants. In 1999 he reached the summit of Federation Peak on an epic 4 week journey using a pair of prosthetic legs. …Warren inspires audiences to believe in themselves, demonstrating through action that “nothing is impossible if we dare to face our fears and believe in ourselves.” That achieving success requires taking positive steps forward, and that each step we take, no matter how small, moves us closer to our goals. His presentation reinforces the importance of recognizing change as an opportunity to transform our lives and turn negatives into positives.
Later Warren wrote this article: ‘Prosthetics helped me beat Kilimanjaro’ – CNN

Two errors in the bio of their own speaker. Should be Hinchinbrook Island, and it was a boulder rather than a slab of rock.
Thanks Ken.
This is just utterly incredible and wonderful.
“recognizing change as an opportunity to transform our lives and turn negatives into positives”
And so right. Thank you for sharing this post!
